The Best Prime Day Deal Is Actually This Incredible Blender

Amazon Prime Day is full of a lot “deals” that I can only describe as…meh. This is not one of those. Nutribullet’s Ultra blender, the top pick by a country mile in our best smoothie blender testing, is 45% off. That drops the price below what we’ve selected as the best budget blender in the past.

The reason it’s so good? A motor so powerful it actually rivals our best full-size blender from Vitamix. The Nutribullet Ultra crams a 1200-watt motor into its rather slim casing; that’s double the wattage of the Nutribullet Pro blender that’s a step down. This is basically a high-performance blender in a junior blender’s body.

When we were testing these petite blenders it was the only one that successfully blended up stiff, hearty kale stems on the first try.

It comes with a few other great design choices as well. The quality and placement of the suction cup feet on the base hold it in place as well as larger, heavier blenders; a smoothie preset gets everything appropriately pulverized and mixed with a single touchscreen press; and it includes two blending cups so you don’t need to immediately clean up before making another smoothie (you can even have smoothies for two every morning).

The only thing this blender really can’t do is soup for a crowd. But even for that you don’t need to clog your counter up with a blender colossus. As my colleague Emily Farris has made the case for years, you can just get a good immersion blender, which, as it so happens, is also on a pretty big sale today.

But, I’ve been a professional Amazon Prime Day watcher for more than five years now, and as Prime Day discounts go, finding one this big on a kitchen product this good is actually not that common. And if you need a blender (heck, even if you might need a blender any time in the next year) you should consider snapping it up before it ends.
